Initial Consultation

As soon as you determine that you need to do anything regarding your septic system or sewage treatment system, call us! Sometimes it’s just a maintenance issue or a minor repair that is needed. Don’t let an untrained, uncertified, inexperienced contractor sell you something that you don’t need! Let us help you decide exactly what it is you need to do with an initial consultation.

Perc Test

We need to perform a perc test (percolation test) to discover the absorption rate of the soil or designated septic system area. We also need to dig an Observation Pit to get a good look at the layers of soil/sand/rocks/ etc. and record our findings. All of this produces a set of results that we need to move forward.

Secondary Consultation

The secondary consultation is where we get into the planning. Based on the findings/results of the perc test & observation pit, we can lay out the options that you have and begin the actual design of the system. This involves research/technical data/permit application/man hours/etc. as well as some legal responsibilities and liability.

Supply and Install

L&E Excavating Ltd. is trained, certified and experienced. We will professionally install your system to the highest BCOSSA/ASTTBC standards.

Cost: TBD

If you let an untrained, uncertified, unprofessional contractor take your money and leave you with a septic system that doesn’t work properly, it will cost you thousands of dollars to have it installed and may cost you tens of thousands to have it removed, redesigned, and re-installed properly.
